storenvy.com tutorial: remove "pin it" feature

This post was written by Megean and originally posted on her blog. She has generously offered to share this amazing tutorial for removing the Pin It button from custom Storenvy shops with our audience!

While most people love pinterest, not all small businesses are feeling
the love. This is especially true for small handmade businesses who do
not want their products pinned. This is entirely up to each company and I
fully respect their reasoning behind the choice.

I LOVE Storenvy.com and all the features that it includes.
Unfortunately, I have had a couple of clients request the "pin it"
button be removed from their custom product pages. Removing the "pin it"
feature is completed in 5 EASY steps and only involves a quick glance
into the coding of your site.

As always, when accessing the coding behind your site, remember to be
careful. The smallest mistake can completely break a site. So please,
follow the instructions exactly.

Select the Design Tab to gain access to the customization of your
storenvy site. Sidenote and a little storenvy love: If you have not
customized your site yet, give it a try with the easy CSS controls. You
can always easily revert to the default setting if you are unhappy with
the changes :)

STEP 3:

Select the "PAGES" button. The allows you to access the code that
determines how your site looks. And don't worry, if you are not familiar
with the coding...we are not going too deep into it with this tutorial.

STEP 5:
Once you have opened the product page, you are going to see the coding
revealed. If you don't have any coding experience, I know this looks
super intimidating but don't give up on me yet. Let's use the scroll bar
next to the code to scroll down until we reach line 69. This might be
slightly different if you have previously applied any alterations to the
product page code. Use the screenshot to the locate the code we will be
deleting. Once you have found the line of code, select it. Be sure to
only select what you see selected in the screenshot. Delete the line and
Save Changes.

You have now deleted the Pinterest button from the product page of your
custom site. While this will not completely block someone from pinning
your products to pinterest, it does remove the feature from your product
page. By having the button on your product page, you are giving the
user the impression that you support this feature.

If you have questions or suggestions for future tutorials please leave me a comment!

**Disclaimer. All alterations to the
coding of your site is your responsibility unless otherwise purchased
from The Individuality. The Individuality will not be held responsible
for alterations outside of the previously stated tutorial.
